  1. Microphone Boost causing start of sentaces to clip


    I'm trying to record lectures using my microphone and have found that even at 100% it is very quiet. To address this I turned up the gain or Microphone Boost to +20dB in the properties window only now it seems to reduce the volume though not in any way that can be seen in the levels when I'm not talking which means that the start of all my sentences are super quiet.

    It also does this randomly in the middle of sentences.

    I have tried disabling 'exclusive control' to see if some software somewhere was messing with the mic level but that didn't help.

    I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers to no avail.

    :)

  2. Can't boost microphone in Windows 10

    Thanks for replying Microphone Boost causing start of sentaces to clip :)

    I did all the steps listed, but as shown in the screenshot above there is no Microphone Boost slider to modify. And in the "Custom" tab the Microphone Boost box is check-marked so I have no idea why its not showing.

    Can't boost microphone in Windows 10

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I suggest you to follow the step below and check if it helps.

    How to Raise the Mic Volume in Windows 10.

    • Right click on Speaker on the
      System Tray.

    • Select Recording Devices.

    • This will bring the Sounds window on your screen. In the
      Recording tab of Sounds window, you will notice the microphone which is active, i.e. the one with a green tick mark. Right click on the active microphone and select its
      Properties

    • Click on Levels tab of
      Microphone Properties. This tab exhibits you two sections:
      Microphone andMicrophone Boost.

    • Use the sliders to modify your volume settings. You can take the Microphone Boost slider up to +40 dB. To save the changes, don’t forget to click
      Ok button. If you do the modification while the conversation goes on then you will get the immediate feedback of the output sound from the end user and so you can adjust the volume using the sliders as per requirement.


    Keep us posted on this issue so that we can assist you better.

    Microphone boost goes up to +10db max?

    Well, +20db would be typical- I guess that's what wou're expecting...

    Considered here, with no solution:

    Figures up to 40dB are mentioned- this shows 30dB..
